Therapy Session in Texas

With over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy. I am a proud graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University, where I earned my Master’s in Social Work, and I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build stronger, healthier relationships. Whether you're facing anxiety, stress, parenting difficulties, or past trauma, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal and grow. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you work through your struggles and move toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and experiences that may be holding you back and develop practical tools to support your emotional well-being. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm honored to be a part of yours.

I am a compassionate mental health counselor with a Ph.D. in Couples and Family Therapy from Antioch University. I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents and young adults as they navigate daily life challenges, including but not limited to ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relational issues. As a therapist, I am committed to guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and self-mastery, empowering them to move through life with intention, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose. My goal is to help clients gain clarity and uncover their strengths to move consciously toward the meaningful changes they wish to create. My approach is empathic, supportive and collaborative, aiming to guide clients towards the path that resonates and is authentic for them. I utilize an integrative style drawing from evidence-based practices such as Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and relational approaches. This style allows me to meet clients where they are, while also holding space for them to explore the patterns, narratives, and beliefs that influence their growth and personal development. As a first-generation American raised in a multicultural family, I bring a unique appreciation for the ways culture and identity shape our experiences. These experiences shape my commitment to providing a supportive, inclusive environment where every client feels seen, understood, and valued. I am bilingual in English and Farsi and have experience working with immigrants and first-generation individuals as they navigate cultural adjustment, identity, intergenerational family dynamics, and belonging. Above all, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, learn skills and strategies that will ultimately uncover strengths as well as develop resilience. I believe seeking support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward wellness and growth.

I am a open- minded License Therapist who received a Master’s degree in Human Sciences from Prairie View A&M University and have spent the past 16 years working in education, with seven of those years as a school counselor. For the last seven years, I’ve also been providing therapy. I’m passionate about helping people overcome barriers, discover their strengths, and create the lives they deserve. Supporting others in their journey to thrive is truly what I love to do.

With extensive experience in community mental health settings, educational environments, and private care, I am dedicated to helping individuals become the best versions of themselves. My approach is rooted in client-centered and solution-focused therapy, allowing me to tailor my method to each unique situation and empower clients on their personal journeys.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in the state of Texas supervised by Mark Cagle (LPC-S.) My mission to ensure that everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, has access to quality mental health care. I specialize in using video games and interactive media to help others improve their mental health and well-being. Through structured gaming sessions, I assist individuals in managing anxiety, building social skills, and enhancing cognitive function. My qualifications include a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Angelo State University, with specialized training in evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness practices for a well-rounded approach to your mental well-being.

Parenting can be challenging. Every parent wants the best for their child, but mistakes happen. Is your teenager feeling off or withdrawn? I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. I also support those with behavioral and school-related problems like peer relationships and social skills. I enjoy working with teens to help them express themselves, manage their anger, and make good friends. I also help parents understand their children and build a stronger relationship. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed. After therapy, clients can manage their emotions better and reduce unhealthy behaviors. Your child will leave therapy feeling empowered and capable of handling daily challenges. I understand that taking the first step can be tough. I am here to support you every step of the way.
